The prestigious duel between Audi and Mercedes-Benz
dominated the DTM or six years. A duel that saw Audi win
the championship tussle 4:2. Following the comeback o
BMW or the 2012 season and beyond this duel becomes
a three-way ght between the large German premium
manuacturers a battle that DTM ans have waited 20 long
years or. Here at Audi we relish the challenge and, in
the orm o our elegant A5 Coup, are convinced that we
have the perect base or the new DTM rules. Regulations,
or which Audi played a leading role in their creation, set
standards worldwide in the important areas o saety,
cost-eciency and desirability. We hope that this MediaIno
booklet is a useul companion or you
throughout the 2012 DTM season.

The DTM takes o in the 2012 season: with new technical
regulations that are pioneering in the elds o saety, cost-
eciency and desirability o the race cars, with exciting
Coups rom Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz and with the
premiere season o the new Audi A5 DTM. And with a highly
motivated Audi squad that will leave no stone unturned in
its quest to bring another DTM title back to Ingolstadt and
Neckarsulm.
V8, TT, and A4 each o the three models with which
Audi joined the DTM grid previously won at least one
championship title in its lietime. Following eight successul
years with the A4 the brand with the our rings elds a
actory backed two-door Coup the A5 or the rst time
in the most popular international touring car race series.
The three veteran Audi Sport Teams Abt Sportsline, Phoenix
and Rosberg compete with a total o eight new Audi A5 DTM
cars whereby Audi Sport has already achieved a new
in-house record beore the rst race: never beore have so
many new cars been built or a DTM season. In 2004 when
the Audi actory returned to the DTM it was six cars. Since

then a maximum o our new race cars have been built per
year.
In 2012 there are only new cars on the grid or the rst
time ever since the DTM was re-launched in the year 2000.
To develop a completely new race car or new technicalregulations and to produce eight identical replicas as
well as guaranteeing the spare parts supply is logistically
very dicult and was only possible through the absolute
commitment o the entire Audi squad and our teams,
explains Head o Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolgang Ullrich.
I am, however, convinced that it will pay o since we have
the opportunity to make the worlds best touring car series
out o the DTM this year.
All three actory teams were integrated in the development
and testing program o the new Audi A5 DTM rom the
very beginning and thereore start the new DTM era with
equal chances. The same applies to the driver squad which
remains almost unchanged compared to the 2011 season.
The sole newcomer is the youthul 21-year old Frenchman
Adrien Tambay, who ought his way through a multi-stage
young driver assessment test, and is team mate to the
young Swiss Rahel Frey at Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline.
The pair o two-time DTM Champions Mattias Ekstrm
(Sweden) and Timo Scheider (Germany), who also start
or Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline, spearhead the Audi
driver squad. Miguel Molina (Spain) and Mike Rockeneller
(Germany) drive or Audi Sport Team Phoenix which
produced last years Champion. With Filipe Albuquerque
(Portugal) and Edoardo Mortara (Italy/France) Audi SportTeam Rosberg compete with the same drivers as last year.
Points are awarded at a total o ten DTM events in 2012. On
top o this comes a show event staged once again in Munich
Olympic Stadium. Audis target or the season is the same
as every year: We aim to be battling or wins and to bring
ourselves into a position rom which we can also ght or
the title in the end, says Dr. Ullrich. Its clear that this year
that could well be a little more dicult than in the yearsbeore.
For the frst time ever and with the
help o the teams Audi Sport has
simultaneously built eightnewrace cars or a DTM season

The engine range extends rom the
economical 2.0 TDI to the high-
perormance V8 producing 4 hp
The new Audi A5 DTM orms the spearhead o the sporting
A5 amily even though it is currently exclusively reserved
or the companys race drivers. However, the production
models also ulll almost every wish: be it A5, S5 or RS 5
Coup, Sportback or Cabriolet a total o seven models
are available. The state-o-the-art engine range extends
rom a particularly economical 2.0 TDI producing 105 kW(143 hp) to a high-perormance V8 pushing out 331 kW
(450 hp) in the exceptional RS 5 Coup.
With its captivating lines the Audi A5 Coup is today,
only ve years ater its market launch in 2007, a modern
classic. Audi received the Designpreis der Bundesrepublik
Deutschland or it in 2010. With its elegant looks and
unique eeling o space the A5 Coup has taken the hearts
o Audi customers by storm. The A5 DTM is based on the
latest version which is recognized, since the latest product
acelit in summer 2011, by its striking, wedge-shaped
headlights.
TFSI technology rom motorsportThe two-door Coup also brings along excellent eatures
or everyday lie. Its luggage compartment lid opens
automatically, the rear seatbacks can be olded down
separately. Thanks to the lightweight steel body with
aluminum ront enders the basis versions unladen weight
is restricted to a mere 1,425 kilograms. One o the most
interesting engines is the compact high-tech 1.8 TFSI
gasoline engine with an average uel consumption o a mere
5.7 liters per 100 km. The combination o turbocharging
and direct injection TFSI or short originates, like so

many other technologies at Audi, rom motorsport: it madea triumphant debut in Le Mans in 2001.
The Audi A5 Cabriolet, equipped with a classic abric hood
like every other open topped Audi, is available since 2009.
It opens and closes in good 15 seconds thanks to its ully
automatic operation. The A5 amily is completed since
September 2009 by the A5 Sportback a particularly elegant
ve-door vehicle with a luggage compartment capacity o up
to 1,283 liters.
All three A5 body styles Coup, Cabriolet and Sportback are
also available as unique sporting S models that excel through
strong perormance, subtle understatement, a wealth o
standard and optional equipment and versatile everyday
practicality and which transmit their power to the road via
the permanent our-wheel drive quattro. In the S5 range the S5 Sportback, S5 Coup and S5 Cabriolet the 3.0 TFSI
with 245 kW (333 hp) and 440 Nm torque is used. The V6
compressor consumes an average o only 8.1 liters per 100 km.
The dynamic perormance gures are impressive: the S5 Coup
sprints rom standstill to highway pace in 4.9 seconds.
Audi RS 5: the darling o many Audi actory drivers
The highlight and darling o many Audi actory drivers like
Timo Scheider or Adrien Tambay is the Audi RS 5 Coup.Its 4.2 FSI, a high-revving normally aspirated V8, produces
331 kW (450 hp) at 8,250 rpm, its 430 Nm torque are on tap
between 4,000 and 6,000 revs. The high-perormance Coup
sprints rom zero to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, i desired Audi
limits the maximum speed rst at 280 km/h.

Intense season o big challenges
Audi Sport has been, as part o Technical Development
(TE) o AUDI AG, a guarantee or success in motorsport
or more than three decades. Be it rallying, touring cars
or sport prototypes: in every discipline in which Audi has
competed as actory to date, the brand with the our rings
has celebrated important victories and won numerous
championship titles worldwide oten in connection with
new technologies like quattro drive, TFSI, TDI or ultra
lightweight design and construction.
Audi Sport has realized 18 dierent racing projects to date
rom the legendary original quattro (R1) to the latest LMP1
sportscar R18. The Audi A5 DTM was developed to a ready to
race state under the project name R17.
Currently around 200 employees at the Ingolstadt and
Neckarsulm sites are responsible or the development and
testing o the race cars. Doctorate o Mechanical Engineering
Dr. Wolgang Ullrich has been Head o Audi Sport since 1993.
The challenges Audi Sport aces this year are particularly
big: with the A5 DTM and R18 e-tron quattro with hybrid
drive two completely new race cars were developed in
parallel or the two most important elds o activity DTM
and sport prototypes. Furthermore, several races in the
DTM and new FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC)
2012 are held on the same weekends. Audi Sports busy
race season is completed by actory backed events with the
GT3 sportscar R8 LMS ultra in the two 24-hour race at theNrburgring and Spa-Francorchamps.

Greater saety, reduced costs, spectacular
look: the new Audi A5 DTM
The Audi A5 DTM, which was developed under the project
name R17 internally at Audi Sport, complies with the new
technical regulations that come into orce or the 2012
season. At the same time the responsible parties also
targeted three premises: car saety, a cost reduction o up
to 40 per cent and a spectacular appearance.
The nal aspect is visible at rst glance. The Audi A5 DTM
appears lower and squatter than its predecessor the A4 DTM
with which Audi won ve o the last eight DTM titles. A new
and innovative chassis in hybrid design hides under the
bodywork manuactured entirely rom carbon. With its ront,
rear and lateral crash elements the combination o carbon-
ber monocoque and steel roll-cage sets new standards with
regard to saety or a racing touring car. Furthermore, the
chassis, which weighs just 160 kilograms, is one o about
50 identical components shared by all DTM cars.
Thanks to these standard parts it was possible to achieve
the targeted cost reduction o up to 40 per cent while still
improving the saety and appeal o DTM cars, says Head
o Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolgang Ullrich under whose
supervision the new Audi A5 DTM was developed.
Imposing appearance: the Audi A5 DTM appears
atter and wide than its predecessor

The Audi A5 DTM is comprised o about
4, individual parts about 50o them are identical in every DTM car
The A5 DTM is 5.01 meters long, 1.95 meters wide and
only 1.15 meters high. The wheelbase o every DTM car
is a uniorm 2.750 millimeters. Like its predecessor, the
A5 DTM is powered by a near 340 kW (460 hp) Audi Sport
V8 engine. A new development with partner Hewland is
the six-speed gearbox now activated pneumatically via shit
paddles mounted on the steering wheel. When compared toa classic manual shit, the more precise gear shit procedure
acilitates a signicant increase in gearbox service lie o up
to 24,000 kilometers.
The Bosch MS 5.1 engine electronics, which unction without
uses, and the central display already used in the Audi
R8 LMS are also state-o-the-art. The exclusive tire partner
Hankook supplies larger and wider tires the dimension o
which resemble those used on LMP2 sportscars. Integrated
into the Audi A5 DTM carbon ber cell is a 120 liter saety

uel tank with which the current DTM race distance can be
completed making a stop or uel since reueling during a
DTM race is no longer permitted or saety reasons.
In general new standards are set with the cell, explains
Stean Aicher, Head o Vehicle Design at Audi Sport. The
monocoque weighs only 126 kilograms, the roll-cage 32.5
kilos. At the same time the saety standards have increased
dramatically. The design is extremely stable when subject to
not just rontal, longitudinal crashes but also side impacts.
The entire sidewall must withstand a orce o 360 kN during
the side impact test, this equates to around 36 tones. Byway o comparison, this value was 80 kN or the A4 DTM,
which demonstrated its high saety standards in several
spectacular accidents.
Only the engine subrame at the ront and gearbox at the
rear restrict the engineers reedom as ar as the suspension
geometry is concerned. The suspension pick-up points
must be mounted to these standard elements. In addition,
the material, steel, and tube dimensions are xed andnumerous dimensions dened by the regulations the
wheels or example.
Aerodynamic possibilities were also restricted. Air fow
through the bodywork as seen on the A4 DTM and complex
additional winglets at the rear are now prohibited. Visual
similarity to the production line model is signicantly
greater as a result and, at the same time, the new DTM cars
should react less sensitively to contact and create a better
slipstream also thanks to the larger rear wing.
Highest saety standards: the hybrid chassis o the A5 DTM

Audi had very innovative solutions in the past in the DTM
and especially or the aerodynamics, says Dr. Martin
Mhlmeier, Head o Technology at Audi Sport. Since these
areas were strongly restricted it is now more about detail
solutions to acquire an advantage over the competition.
Audi was also always a trendsetter in these areas over theyears. I think that weve ound interesting and innovative
details solutions once again.
Project R17 began in May 2010, a month later the green
light was given to use the A5 as base model. Tests in the
model wind tunnel have been running since February 2011.
The roll-out was completed on 29 July 2011. Aterwards,
the intensive test program started at various European race
tracks and continued to the Deutscher Motor Sport Bund(DMSB) homologation date on March 1, 2012. Since then,
the most important technical aspects on the new DTM cars
were rozen or the rest o the season including the still all
important aerodynamic conguration.
As usual, or this reason, all three manuacturers kept their
nal aero conguration as secret as possible to the last
moment. In the DTM this year even more value is attached
to every tiny detail than ever beore, knows Dr. Wolgang
Ullrich. And, it goes without saying that we have developed

The most important areas o
the new DTM cars are rozen
since March
over the last ew month we also wish to keep to ourselves
or as long as possible.
For the Head o Audi Motorsport the A5 DTM is the most
elegant o the new DTM cars. Furthermore, the A5 is rom
its base a car that ts antastically well to the DTM.
Michael Dick, Member o the Board or Technical
Development and consequently also responsible or the
AUDI AG DTM program, shares the enthusiasm or the
Coup: I particularly like the act that the lines o the
production A5 are easily recognizable.

Audi with the youngest driver line-up
in the DTM 2012
Head o Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolgang Ullrich began
rejuvenating his driver squad several years ago with
success: For the 2011 DTM season we had the strongest
driver squad ever, says the Head o Audi Sport knowingly.
Eight o the nine drivers mounted the podium at least once.
In addition, they won seven o the ten races or Audi and
clinched the championship title.
Audi has rejuvenated its driver squad once again or the
2012 season. New to the team is the youthul 21-year old
Frenchman Adrien Tambay, who impressed at a young driver
assessment test and now tackles his rst DTM season. As
a result, Audi remains true to its philosophy o supporting
budding young talent. You will not nd any ormer
Formula 1 stars at the brand with the our rings. We want
drivers who make a name or themselves at Audi and whoare closely associated with the brand. Mattias Ekstrm,
Timo Scheider, Mike Rockeneller and Edoardo Mortara are
excellent examples o this.
At an average age o almost 27, Audi contests the DTM
2012 with the youngest driver squad among the three
manuacturers. The pair o two-time DTM Champions
Mattias Ekstrm and Timo Scheider, who have scoredall their 23 DTM race wins and titles with Audi, orm the
spearhead. Mike Rockenellers name can also already
be ound in the list o winners o the most popular
international touring car series. Filipe Albuquerque, Miguel
Molina and Edoardo Mortara were the most successul
newcomers in the DTM in the last two years and the three
o them have also mounted the podium. The Audi squad is
completed by Rahel Frey who Dr. Wolgang Ullrich thinks
will spring a surprise or two during the 2012 season.
The Audi drivers clinched a total o4 DTM race wins

Did you know that
The Swiss girl contests her second
DTM season or Audi in 2012. Ater
her initial successes in karting and
entry into ormula racing she made
everybody sit up and take notice
in 2009 in the Formula 3 Cup in
Germany: a win and our podium
nishes in a male dominated star o
tomorrow series were remarkable. At
the end o 2010 Rahel Frey prevailed
during an Audi young driver test and,
in doing so, ullled a personal dream
by making the step up to the DTM.
... the Swiss girl dreamed o joining

Mattias Ekstrm:
The season opener at Hockenheim is always something
very special or us drivers, since its all completely new;
rom the hospitality to the team clothing. The rst race
gives an idea o balance o perormance in the new season.
Itll be particularly exciting this year due to the new cars
and the third manuacturer. The atmosphere at Hockenheim
is always amazing the ans are really eager to see all the
cars in action. The season opener is normally blessed by
wonderul spring weather. Hockenheim is also a antastic
circuit or the rst race: it allows you to get into a good
rhythm and has a good variety o corners. However, there is
only one good place to overtake which is beore the hairpin,
unless a competitor makes a mistake.

Lausitzring (D)
Timo Scheider:
On this track you need a car that unctions well both
mechanically and aerodynamically since the Lausitzring
has a mixture o both ast and slow corners. Entering
turn 1 is a particularly good place to overtake; you have
to use the tow down the long straight. Going into turn 5
which takes you onto the short circuit is another good
opportunity the circuit is wide here and there is plenty
o space. The smooth tarmac which doesnt have much
grip is typical or the Lausitzring. I like this modern
acility. The background with its towering grandstands
is very imposing especially when you drive out o the
pits or the rst time. By the way, the grandstands are
perect or the ans because the spectators can see
almost the entire track rom them.

Brands Hatch (GB)
Mattias Ekstrm:
A typical English race track. It is small and bumpy in
places. You cant aord to make a mistake because there
are virtually no run-o areas. Ive had a mixture o good and
bad experiences here. Like the Norisring, Brands Hatch has
very ew corners. However, they are very special, especially
the rst corner. The circuit which is also the shortest on
the DTM calendar has very ew places to overtake. A lot is
said about the typical English weather, but weve only ever
had rain here once when the DTM has visited. The Brands
Hatch track normally has good grip, but the organizers have
made some modications over the years so that weve oten
had a ew small surprises in rst practice.

Spielberg (A)
Rahel Frey:
The race track in Spielberg is my avorite in the DTM
calendar. I elt immediately at home here in 2011. The
atmosphere was amazing; you really sensed how the
ans celebrated. Spielberg is also a track with great
motorsport history, which obviously blends perectly
into its natural surroundings. The brakes are heavily
stressed due to the many uphill and downhill sections.
I you make a mistake it has a great aect since you lose
time on the next uphill section. There are several good
overtaking places. You can ollow the rhythm o the
track very easily; Spielberg certainly suits drivers with a
gentle driving style.

Norisring (D)
Filipe Albuquerque:
The only street circuit on the DTM calendar is something
quite special. The atmosphere is unique. The grandstands
are always sold-out and the paddock is absolutely crowded.
The Norisring is, however, much harder or us drivers than it
actually appears. As outsider you think: just three corners
that cant be so dicult. Because the circuit is very bumpy
you have to hit the braking point exactly every lap. The track
surace is special; there are several sections with a kind o
concrete surace, which is very slippery in the rain. In turns
2 and 3 you have to drive very close, so close in act that the
mirrors are oten damaged. Ater all you have to use every
millimeter o the track. Overtaking is very dicult, the best
chance is under braking or turn 1 and into the nal corner.

Munich (D)
Edoardo Mortara:
Munich represents a completely dierent DTM to the
rest o the calendar. We drove in the Olympic stadium
or the rst time a year ago. As a racing driver you are
used to ghting head to head with other, but here you
drive alone against the clock. You drive the whole time
in rst and second gears, the speed is low. From thetechnical point o view you have to drive extremely
clean, otherwise it gets very expensive in a fash. In
2011 the walls were made o concrete. This year plastic
elements are also used. The pit stops take a bit o
getting used to. Last year I had mixed eelings. On one
hand I was the best Audi driver here and was awarded
my rst DTM trophy. On the other I had an accident on
Sunday to conclude the event.

Nrburgring (D)
Adrien Tambay:
One o the key points is the rst corner which is very
technical. The last chicane is also important. Its crucial to
have a good balance and excellent traction out o the slow
corners in order to be able to overtake at the end o the
long straight. I really like this track. In 2007, I competed
in a single-seater series or young talents which was parto the support program or the Formula 1 Grand Prix and
nished on the podium or the rst time, which is why I
have ond memories o the Nrburgring. Ive only ever raced
with ormula cars here beore, now Im intrigued to see the
track rom a touring car. The biggest dierence is certainly
that I can now drive across the kerbs. The weather in the
Eiel can change very quickly, which adds a little more spice
to the exciting races.

Zandvoort (NL)
Mike Rockeneller:
The circuit is situated in a great place. Running through the
dunes and close to the sea makes it unique. However, sand
requently collects alongside the ideal line; you shouldnt
stray o line as you dont want to lose any grip. This is
extremely important in qualiying. Zandvoort is one o the
best tracks on the calendar or me: a traditional track withplenty o character, it is ast, has very ew run-o areas
and several blind corners. I particularly like the right-hand
downhill section ater the crest. There are several places
to overtake at Zandvoort. You can really take advantage
o mistakes the competition make here. Furthermore,
the atmosphere among the many spectators is antastic.
Something thats quiet unique in Zandvoort is that ans can
combine a trip to the beach with the DTM race.

Oschersleben (D)
Timo Scheider:
Oschersleben is a very special track or me. It has a mixture
o ast and slow corners and is very selective. The track is
not very wide; there are also several sections where you
have to drive hard over the kerbs in a touring car. As a rule,
overtaking is very dicult you have the opportunity in
Turn 1 and in the nal corner. Otherwise you only havea chance i the driver in ront makes a mistake. It goes
without saying thereore that qualiying is extremely
important or us. The pit stops are just as important since
the pit lane is extremely long. I have ond memories o
Oschersleben as I celebrated my rst DTM win here. The
atmosphere is always great, you notice that there is very
little motorsport in Northern Germany the ans and very
interested and appreciative.

Valencia (E)
Miguel Molina:
As a driver the most noticeable eature is that the track
runs anti-clockwise. The majority o race tracks run
the opposite way round. Valencia has several very ast
corners like corners 1 and 8. Overtaking is possible in
the second and nal corners. Special or Valencia is also
that it is usually very hot; this aects the tires and thetechnology. Great demands are made o the drivers
tness here. I like Valencia: its my home DTM race.
All my riends and many ans are here and there is a
antastic atmosphere. This is motivation enough or me.

Hockenheim (D)
Mattias Ekstrm:
The track is particularly interesting through its mix o
corners. There are several very slow corners like corner 2
and the hairpin, but also very ast kinks like turn 1 or the
entry into the Motodrom. I particularly like the layout since
the track was modied ten years ago. In the Parabolika
corner, which was added at that time, you can set-upyoursel perectly to overtake the car in ront. Earlier we
measured the gaps at Hockenheim in hal-seconds. Over the
course o the years they have reduced to just a tenth. And
with the new car generation or 2012 I can guarantee that
well have to look or the hundredths in order to make the
dierence. The fair at Hockenheim is particularly great.
Many spectators visit the nale every year.
